Chapter 546 Holy Temple (2/2)

Shen Lian had not start forging his sword yet. He was waiting for an opportunity, which was when the blood of the people flow as they were being killed by the King. He had to wait for the Xia's Emperor to take over Mount Meng, which he would collect the burning killing vibes to forge the sword tip, and then only he could create this killing sword at once.

After all, he was still the State Preceptor of Xia. He could use this killing fortune occurred from the battle between Xia Kingdom and the Eastern Barbarians. However, this would mean further deepening his karma with Xia.

But since karma was everywhere, one could not see it nor touch it, therefore it was futile to run from it.

The thought for Ah Lian to build the holy temple was not born at a brink of the moment. His true intention was that he wanted to explore the path of Shen.

There were five immortals in the world, namely heaven, land, human, gods, and demons, all with the path to immortality. Shen Lian had achieved the paths of heavenly immortal and land immortal, the most superior among the five. However, the human, gods, and demons were also passed down from ancient times with very contrasting paths, but with the same destination, as these three would be followed up by the heaven immortals.

After all, Shen Lian was determined to escape the barriers of his predecessors and explore the paths of Dao himself. He would have to make multiple trials to seek for the best path.

All these were slow efforts which could not be succeeded with haste; hence Shen Lian was patient about it.

He planned to refine his own True Samadhi Fire and wait patiently.

Ah Lian's breathing method was an authentic Xuanmen technique, enabling her to be more calm and collected. She was never the weak girl from the past when she faced her tribesmen. She transpired the orders from Shen Lian, and even made many detailed arrangements for this.

The holy temple was erected in only five days, but without a name. Everyone only knew that the statue was of Celestial Teacher Qing Xuan.

Celestial Teacher Qing Xuan was not a god who answered every prayer. All from the Wuzhong's were well aware of that.

However, after praying for a few days, none had their prayers answered, so they were quite disappointed. Some even took this up on Ah Lian.

But there was one thing that everyone did not expect. Since the temple was built, Ah Lian prayed there day and night. Soon, an ineffable halo appeared around her body. When those complainers went near her, the halo would shock them and sent them flying, and the others who went near Ah Lian were unharmed. Soon people gradually understood. This was not because of Ah Lian's high mana level. One must not visit the temple with ill intentions, whether it was towards Ah Lian or Celestial Teacher Qing Xuan.

Slowly, everyone started to respect and worshipped Celestial Teacher Qing Xuan like a real god. And people started to dream of a celestial, and his face was exactly the face of the celestial teacher.

Those who dreamt of the celestial teacher would find it easier to cultivate magic spells and Dao techniques.

From then onwards, everyone had no doubt in Ah Lian, and she naturally became the temple attendant of the temple.

As people started to worship religiously, Ah Lian could see some gaseous aura which looked like floccule gathering towards Qing Xuan Cave. Even she was able to take in some of those. Whenever the floccule shaped gas entered her body, she felt so comfortable as if she was soaked in a warm water bath. At the same time, she could clearly feel the changes in her flesh and blood, good changes.

She even knew that this floccule form gas was emitted from the tribesmen and only those who worshipped religiously would emit these.

Ah Lian felt the benefits of these floccule form gas, and eventually started to think of ways to make more people come to worship the celestial teacher since she had no other ways to repay his deeds, and this floccule gas was obviously a good thing and all gathering towards the celestial teacher.

The more she could think of, the better she could repay the celestial teacher.

Ah Lian's thoughts were clearly reflected Shen Lian's heart. He was not peaking at Ah Lian's spirit intentionally. It was just a unique relationship between the two, built on belief and spirituality.
